One of the reasons I ditched the Malawi was to make room. Damn things took up valuable space for about 14 weeks and overtook everything. Lesson learned about pure sativas indoors.
Upside is I have very decent sized plants ready to sex/flower. I was running out of space but this gave me the chance to make room and narrow down what I'm looking for. The only keeper I consider that I have is my SSDD and Goji at this point. Still keeping others around as I either haven't seen their full potential from my summer run (see how long taking clones in flower can take to become proper?), or I'm on the fence.
The ones you don't clone seem to end up being the ones you wish you did. I regret not cloning the Afghan Kush Special from WOS. She was an awesome example of indica plants with a wonderful bouquet of floral aromas.
Right now I'm thinking the MLI won't make the cut. This is a sister of a previous run. She isn't done yet so it's not fair to judge, but while she blows the fuck out of my eyes, the effects are a bit mild for my liking. She didn't hold a flame to the relaxing effects of SSDD nor the pain killing qualities I'd rather have. She isn't bad, just not necessarily worth keeping around when there are better plants out there and in the stable.
In fact this reflection is thinking that this Blueberry Hill will be the last run for this girl. Got enough other beans I'm interested in, and I'm excited to see any females that come from it.
I had a lemon zinger that was almost finished. I lost her to a heat wave when I was house sitting. I thought I cloned her, but it turned out I didn't. She was absolutely stunning, loud lemon aromas and was looking like a 9 week plant. At that point I became much more diligent in note taking (obviously some are wary of doing so, but simply use encryption for ones notes, all my machines are encrypted), and labeling. Somehow the plant I thought was lemon zinger was a clone of a male of probably pagoda. I've now found tongue depressor sticks make cheap, and great labeling tools for the container plants.
Eta: if you are interested in encryption feel free to PM, me. It isn't hard to do and I firmly believe any device holding personal information should be encrypted
